Ian, I think you have a fantastic idea.
Here's the way it will work. It will start fresh, now. You each will be given a fictious account of $10,000. Each week, you must put 50% of your total nut in play on some games. You can bet all 50% on one game, you can spread it out among 10 games.
I'll be your virtual bookie and break your virtual thumbs for lack of virtual payment.
I can also post money lines (ie. you bet on the winner of the game outright, but get adjusted odds) and various MLB, CFB or other action. You can also post to the blog a comment with any bet you find on USA Today.
Sounds good? I think so too.

First off, let me declare that I am going to try to treat this little game as real as I can. That means no outrageous bets just for shits and giggles. That said, I would like to place action on the follwing games this weekend:
College ($220 each):
LOUISVILLE (-3.5) over UCONN (Friday night)
Florida (-7) over UK
LSU (-10.5) over Auburn
COLORADO (+4) over Kansas
KENT (-5.5) over Bowling Green
NFL ($1,100 each):
WASHINGTON (-8.5) over Arizona
Baltimore (-3) over BUFFALO
WHO DEY (-6.5) over Ny Jets
DENVER (+4) over Pittsburgh
Chris Martin's bets:
$3K Each
BENGALS (-6) over Ny Jets
Pittsburgh (+3.5) over DENVER
Here's my cash plays:
$500
MARYLAND (-4.5) over uva
MIAMI (+16.5) over New England
Pittsburgh (-3.5) over DENVER

Anyone see the UConn punt return for TD last night after making a blatant fair catch. What a travesty. If this money were real, I might be hunting those refs down.
